Chapter 30: Gu Family Proposes Marriage
"Little sister, have you really figured it out?" Lin Yucheng couldn't believe it and confirmed it again. You know, just now, when his mother came over with tears pouring down her face, the words she said really scared them.
What do you mean, are you going to force her to death?
Why did they force my little sister?
Although they felt aggrieved, they had no choice but to compromise. Unexpectedly, the younger sister came over and said that she had changed her mind again?
Is this true?
Although Lin Wenjian was also happy that his daughter had figured it out, he was still angry when he thought about what she had done these days! After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Yuxi, have you really figured it out this time?"
Seeing her father's hopeful eyes, Lin Yuxi's eyes soured and she nodded, "Dad, I've figured it out. You're right. Gu Qingyun is indeed not a good match! He's not worthy of me!"
"That's right. How can Gu Qingyun be worthy of such a good sister of mine? Little sister, let me tell you, I know a young talent. He is so handsome. If he wasn't in poor health, I would have brought him here for you to meet!"
"But..." Mrs. Lu really couldn't forget the grief-stricken and desperate look in her daughter's eyes. Now when she saw her daughter's smile, she felt that she was just forcing herself to smile.
Lin Yuxi knew that her crying had greatly stimulated Mrs. Lu. She felt mixed emotions and was somewhat moved. She couldn't help but hug her mother and said, "Mom, don't think too much. I really figured it out! I cried so sadly because Gu Qingyun...he..."
"What's wrong with him? Did that brat bully you?" Lin Yucheng was already feeling uneasy because of what his mother said. After hearing his sister's hesitant tone, he felt something was wrong. His sister and the others should not have done anything wrong, right?
He tried hard to recall how the two got along, but Lin Yucheng, who had only just learned about Gu Qingyun from his father, had no idea how well they got along. He couldn't help but look at his father with a questioning look in his eyes.
Lin Wenjian frowned when he heard this, and glanced sharply at Lin Yuxi, and his gaze couldn't help but stop on her belly.
"Hey, brother, what did you think? I didn't!" Lin Yuxi didn't expect her family to misunderstand her like this, so she quickly explained.
"Gu Qingyun said that if Daddy really disagrees, he should let me say that we are already pregnant. I... I just didn't expect Gu Qingyun to not care about my reputation. I felt like I had misjudged him, and that's why I was so sad! Who knew that Mom had misunderstood!"
As Lin Yuxi spoke, she lowered her head, as if she had remembered something sad, and in return she received a compassionate embrace from Lu.
There was no misunderstanding, Lin Yuxi couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The silly girl in the original owner did exactly that in the plot, and ended up marrying Gu Qingyun with her reputation ruined. This also laid the seeds for Gu Qingyun to easily solve the problem of the original owner later.
Such a hypocritical person ended up having an amazingly good reputation, and the original owner's family became treacherous villains who tried to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Isn't that infuriating?
"Yuxi, you really didn't...?"
"Dad, no, really not. I know I've been willful and made you worried, but I'm your daughter and I know what self-respect and self-love mean!"
"Okay, then Dad is relieved!" Lin Wen Zhang looked at the tears on his daughter's face and knew that she was not lying, and he felt relieved.
Although he was also very angry that his daughter had done so many foolish things, she was his daughter after all, and he was still willing to believe his daughter.
Lin Yuxi also felt relieved. Fortunately, the original owner was not so love-brained and still had some bottom line. If she really followed Gu Qingyun's will and had a baby in her belly, it would be really difficult to end it.
"Lin Yuxi, listen to me carefully. I don't care whether you really figured it out or just pretended to figure it out. Just based on Gu Qingyun's behavior, I, Lin Wenzhang, will never want such a son-in-law in my life!"
Seeing Lin Yuxi nodding obediently, Lin's father felt a little better, but he was extremely angry in his heart. That brat Gu Qingyun actually dared to scheme against his daughter from the Lin family. He really thought that his father was a vegetarian!
Lin Yucheng was also thinking in his mind, what color bag would be more suitable to bring?
"Master, the Gu family is here to propose marriage!" The doorman walked in quickly and reported loudly.
"Haha, great! He dares to come?" Lin Wen Zhang straightened his clothes casually, sneered, stood up and walked out.
Lin Yucheng quickly chased after him, come on, don't put on the sack and beat him up first! Damn it, you really bully me, the Lin family has no one left!
Mrs. Lu held back her daughter who wanted to go forward, "You stay here!"
"Mom, I'll go check it out!"
"Your father and the others are here, don't get involved, do you still want to keep your reputation?"
Lin Yuxi couldn't persuade Lu any more, so she could only stay and chat with Lu.
--split line--
Lin's Gate
A young man in a linen gown stood in front of the gate with a smile on his face. He stood straight, his linen gown fluttering gently in the morning breeze, revealing his elegance.
"That kid from the Gu family is really courageous. He actually dared to propose marriage to the Lin family."
"Yeah, they don't even look at their status. Do they really think Master Lin would be interested in their family?"
"Now we are going to have a good show. I don't believe that Master Lin will agree to this marriage."
……
Li stood politely by the side, accompanying her son. She had a stiff smile on her face. Under her seemingly calm appearance, she was actually surging with dissatisfaction. Listening to this group of people constantly talking about how ignorant they were, she was very angry and her hatred for Lin increased.
The matchmaker was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she still had to put on a smile to keep up the occasion. If she hadn't been afraid of being pestered by the Gu family, she wouldn't have been willing to come here.
Under the big tree, an old man in coarse cloth was fanning himself with a look of admiration in his eyes. "This kid is quite determined. I wonder if a strong wind can blow him away!"
There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, but Gu Qingyun seemed unaffected. He stood up straight, looking ahead with a smile, truly a gentleman as graceful as jade and as gentle as a pine tree.
As time went by, more and more people gathered around, and there were shadows swaying on the path and even on the roofs in the distance. Their eyes were all focused on this group of people, as if they were waiting for a big show to be staged.
……
After an unknown amount of time, the door finally slowly opened, and Lin Wenjian appeared in front of everyone. His eyes met Gu Qingyun's, as if two powerful souls collided in the air. Lin Wenjian's eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts. He looked at Gu Qingyun, without showing any emotion on his face.
"Master, please forgive me for disturbing you." Gu Qingyun bowed, his voice firm and powerful.
Lin Wen Zhang said "hmm" as a response, and then continued to stare at Gu Qingyun. He wanted to see how this kid from the Gu family got the courage to provoke his daughter from the Lin family.
The matchmaker sensed something was wrong, but she still upheld her professional ethics and stepped forward with a smile to break the silence, "Master Lin, great news! You must know this Gu Qingyun. He is handsome and well-known in our villages. I have come to you today to propose marriage."
Lin Wenjian glanced at the matchmaker, then looked at Gu Qingyun and said calmly, "Gu Qingyun, are you sure you want to come to my Lin family to propose marriage?"
Gu Qingyun bowed and said, "Master's family is knowledgeable and virtuous. Although I come from a poor family, I admire them very much. I am willing to use my knowledge and talent in exchange for the acquaintance of Master's daughter."
After hearing this, Lin Wenjian remained silent. He said, "You are so shameless. How talented are you? Don’t you have any idea about your ability?"
Seeing this, the matchmaker hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Oh, this is a great happy event. The boy from the Gu family is talented, and Mrs. Li is so reasonable..."
Lin Wenjian interrupted and said, "Gu Qingyun, you are indeed very courageous for coming to my Lin family to propose marriage. But marriage is no joke. You need to answer three questions of mine."
